Hi Cristoph, okay, paragraph headings are not what you want. And lists aren't suitable either. I don't think there is any other way and I predict that adding :: syntax in arbitrary positions will not be acceptable as a development to the language but let's see what others think. I have no strong feelings either way.

You can set visibility on individual headlines using properties. I always start my (long) documents with all headings to a certain level exposed (org-content 3) so paragraphs are hidden by default. You might find this useful. Or maybe not! ;-) -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.2.6-552-g8c5a78
